October Specials

Back by popular demand, I am giving away one E2 Cricut machine to a
lucky customer. To be eligible to win, you have to place an order on my
Close To My Heart website this month. That is it! I will draw a winner
November 1st.

The October stamp of the month is a total must have! It is called Very Merry Christmas and
coordinates with the Artiste cartridge, so if you have that cartridge
you are going to want to snatch this up! It makes tag making a total
snap!

As always, this stamp set (retail price of $17.95) is only $5 with any order of $50 or more!

Now don't forget that you can still buy the fabulous Artisteand Art Philosophycartridges, so if you have not taken the plunge yet, come on in the water is great!

Great looking treat bag, with a very versatile design. I used to make fudge, but generally sick to cookies and breads, just haven't made any for the past 3 years. Thanks for the opportunity to win the B is for boy cart.

Cute bag, perfect for Christmas cookies this year! I make cookies every year and am considering trying candy this year since I have more time. Love this cartridge, would love to add it to my collection.

What a sweet project (see what I did there?). It's perfect for the peppermint bark I like to gift to my fellow teacher friends. Though this year I think I'm going to try out my fudge skills. Thanks or the project idea! :)- Mandi Marie

I LOVE to make Buckeyes for the holidays! (Hey, I'm from Ohio, so they're my favorites!!!) I've also made fudge and pretzel rods dipped in chocolate and rolled in various toppings. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!Thanks so much for the chance to win this cart ~ such cute cuts!!

I love this cartridge and love to see your creations with it Melanie! I also really like the paper you have used for the bag, such a cute bad for someone lucky! I don't really make candy but my husband bakes cupcakes and cookies!

Very nice treat bag! I usually attempt some type of candy - mostly fudge. Sometimes it's great, others, well, not so great, but my crew loves fudge so they eat it anyway!Thanks for a chance to win the Boy cartridge. We'd (grandson and me) love to have that one!

I do make holiday candy, but only at Christmas and Easter. Chocolate covered pretzels and raisins, and some chocolate pops...so good! This little treat bag is wonderful. It may be on my list of "things to make."

Adorable treat bag!! My daughters and I get together every year for a baking and candy making day. Then I fill up containers for everyone to take home on Christnas eve. A wonderful tradition that I look forward to every year!

Cute bag. I make holiday candy and cookies at our annual cookie/candy bake with my daughter, Mom, sisters and nieces. We set a side a whole day and go to one of our houses (some even come from out of town) and bake all day. We have a great time!

Cute bag! Great color combination and anyone would love receiving it. I don't make as much candy as I did when I was young, but make a variety of desserts now.Would love to win the B is for Boy cartridge - awesome cartridge!Martha in Leonard TX

No holiday candy for me although I may make chocolate covered pretzels with red and green sprinkles. I definitely make Holiday cookie! My Favorite Season of all...next to Cricut Season & Scrapbooking Season...wait...that's all the time! :)

I don't make Holiday candy, but I started making my cards just yesterday. It's hard to decide what to do because there are so many really neat Christmas cards to be made. I like the "NOEL" card made with Theresa Collins Dec 25th cartridege. Would love to win that one someday!!!

This is such a pretty bag. It would add so much to the presentation of a delicious treat. I do make one kind of candy each Christimas - rich chocolate truffles! They are sooooo good. I also occasionally make a nutty bark (almond and chocolate)and fudge. My hips are getting bigger just thinking about it!

I love making holiday candy, cookies, bread. You name it if it gets baked I love to make it. I just reaganged my pantry because my baking supplies were taking over.I love the bag. I have the supplies to make it now I think I will try it.

Oh, yes, I make easy Christmas candy and cookies, including gingerbread men! I just use storebought mixes instead of from scratch. Dip pretzels and such in yummy chocolate, and white chocolate. Easy peesey! But oh how good it tastes!Beautiful bag!! You always do!Also, can't afford the carts right now!:(

Wonderful gift bag. Especially like the banner pieces all around the tag. Yes, I make holiday candy. I make fudge. I use a recipe that does not have to be made on stove instead is put in microwave & then refrigerated. It uses Jello Pudding & Bakers Chocolate.Melissa"Sunshine HoneyBee"

Cute treat bag :) I have made holiday candy but that was years ago. I'll never forget the clean-up (was cleaning up that glue like brittle for at least a week!) after making 6 batches of peanut brittle for a holiday cookie swap and all I got in return were different variations of almond bark dipped cookies!

What a cute and simple gift bag! Thanks for sharing. I make Christmas cookies and chocolate covered pretzels with my nephews for Christmas. We always made a bunch then deliver them to our few close neighbors. The boys love it but my niece isn't quite old enough yet to join. She loves to eat the product tho! :D

Very, very cute treat bag--when my kids were young we made candy every Christmas, but when they were grown we stopped. We started making candy again several years ago when the grandkids were old enough to"help". And yes, we are using the same recipes. Great memories.

Rose said...Cute bag I love the handle & bow!Yes,we do my niece & I(my sister hates to cook).So I get everything we need & we bake/make it all in one day!From candy to Choc.fudge & peanutbutter fudge peppermint bark,buckeyes(my dad's fav.) & than cookies the last thing is the cheeseball.We have a great time!Rosebud

What a cute bag, I always keep wanting to make some for my sisters and brothers to take home some leftover goodies, but never get around to it. I make tons of Christmas candy, lots of different cookies, squares and even chocolates, I've even tried my hand at chocolate covered cherries, I have a large family that come visit at Christmas and they've come to look forward to all the goodies. I've starting to think I've spoiled them. LOL

I make all kinds of goodies for the Christmas Holidays. Peanut butter balls, no bake peanut butter cookies & peanut blossom cookies are everyone's favorites!!! Love the card. Christmas is my favorite holiday & love everything that has to do with it.

It depends on time . . . usually it gets away from me and I don't have enough to do all the things I want to do. I try to make one candy - stained glass windows. Easy and not too time consuming. I wish there were more hours in the day to accomplish everything and work!

Super cute treat bag!! You guys are so creative!! I have no idea how to make holiday anything that is cooking related. LOL My husband, however, bakes some wonderful cookies, that we actually give as gifts.

I tried once, to make holiday candy. I thought it would be a great scrapbook opportunity...not so much. I stick to cookies and dipping Pretzel rods in chocolate.Besides if you put enough sprinkles and red hots on them- it is almost like candy. Thanks for asking! Beth

I'm in love with the Stamp of the Month! And I love how you used in on your treat bag!I don't really make candy. I might dip some pretzels in chocolate and sprinkles or cover a marshmallow with chocolate and sprinkles (do you see a trend here?) but that's about it!

I used to make holiday candy, but now my daughter does. She has two little boys who love to help make cookies, marshmello (homemade is so different than store bought), and lots of other treats. These holiday treat bags would be wonderful to package the yummies for neighbors and relatives. Thanks for the inspiration.

It has been a family tradition since I was 13, now I'm 56, to make fudge, 1 3 pound batch with nuts and 1 3 pound batch without nuts. Mom, my two sisters and myself did this for all these years until 6 years ago when she passed away a few months before Christmas. That year no fudge was made, but after a year we all get together and make the fudge and have even started our own family traditions of getting together and making cookies!!!
